The itinerary for Purdue University’s study abroad program, “The Commerce of Cars in Central Europe: From Creation to Cargo,” mirrored the supply chain of a vehicle manufactured in Germany for the upper class, (or Oberklasse in German).  Pre-trip curriculum research and discussion, course excursions and other experiential learning, and intra-trip classroom curriculum provided insight into [...]

Germany Trip May 20th

This was the final day of the trip activities! We had a tour of the wonderful town of Delft, which I found to be beautiful. I split off from the group for a little while to go shopping at some nearby record stores, where I got to talk to some of the locals. We then [...]

Day 10 – Delft & Boat Tour

I had a great time at Delft today! The city square provided a glimpse into an older European life. I had a chance to taste test and buy some cheese to bring back to my family and friends at home. Afterwards, we visited the windmills that helped manage water in the Netherlands. I was surprised [...]

Austyn LeMaster Day 10 5/20/26

Today was the last day, we had the windmills and the boat tour. The windmills were very interesting to see in person. And the boat tour was cool to see more of the port. Overall, it was a great trip, and I'm glad I got to go on it and meet other Purdue students, learn [...]

Day 10 – Aaron Osterman

Today started off with a visit to both the town of Delft and the Windmills of Kinderdijk. During the tour of Delft, I learned that William of Orange, the founding father of the Netherlands, was buried there. In addition to learning some of the town's history, it was also cool to see how unique their [...]

It is sad to say that today is my last here in Europe. I've really enjoyed the time and would absolutely love to do it again. Today was a good peaceful day, tours were easy, everyone is tired, the sights were beautiful. We went to this new city today, Delft, and I got some chocolate [...]

Rotterdam Day 4, Last day, May 20th

Today we went to Delph to explore the city, Kinderdijk to see the windmills, and then a boat ride through the port of Rotterdam. It was a really chill day again, where we got to go at our own pace, and everything we did was really beautiful. It was great to see some different parts [...]

Day 10 – Evan Carter

Day 10, the last day of our adventure here in Europe. We first went to Delph and did a small city tour. I thought the architecture was pretty. The city felt very peaceful and quiet. Completely the opposite of what we experienced in Amsterdam. Next we went to Kinderdijk and got to see the iconic [...]

We spent our last day taking a bus tour to Delft which is a beautiful town with a rich history where I bought a small piece of pottery in the traditional white and blue. Our guide and bus driver were awesome and knew a lot about the areas we were driving through. The windmills were [...]

Day 10 Post – Nathan Hession

Today we visited the town of Delft and the Windmills of Kinderdyk. Delft was super very different from where were staying, and had lots of cool sights such as its churches and many cool shops to check out. Afterwards when we visited the windmills, we learned lots of history about said windmills and got to [...]

The town of Delft and the windmills were very cool to look at and explore. I really liked our guide and our bus driver because they were very interactive and seemed to care a lot about Dutch history. I enjoyed the boat tour though it was a little long and cold.
